HIRE KRISTEN FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY!! I met Kristen in October 2023 when she was the hair stylist for my sister's wedding. I immediately liked her as she was a delight, fun and made all five of us (bride, moms and sisters) look gorgeous! Since I am not well versed in hair or makeup, seeing Kristen's work previously and overall vibe made her a shoe-in for my wedding day! I had a vision, I changed my mind, I was unsure, then changed my mind again - Kristen was there the entire way. She also recommended a makeup artist which took a huge weight off my shoulders. During the trial she was able to take a look at my hair, understand my needs and got to work. She is so experienced and made me feel like anything we wanted to achieve was possible. It sure was! She suggested adding extensions to my hair (something I never thought about) and it changed my whole look! On the day of the wedding, she and the makeup artist arrived early, enthusiastic and ready to go! There were five of us getting ready (bride, moms and bridesmaids) and Kristen brought a light-hearted energy to the day which helped put all of us at ease. We all have different hairstyles and hair types and it was no problem. She kept checking to make sure everything was perfect for each of us - and it was. When it was my turn, she showed me the extensions which she dyed PERFECTLY to match my natural summer color. I couldn't believe it. I was so impressed. I felt so glamorous and my hair and makeup lasted the entire night! On a wedding day or special occasion, delivering something excellent is expected but it's also the little things that are important. It was such a pleasure to have her part of my morning. She made us laugh and feel relaxed. She was ready and game for anything we were doing and/or thinking about. She felt like one of the girls! She was constantly giving touch-ups and checking on us until the final moments. I felt like a movie star and so so special. I couldn't have asked for more. HIRE HER NOW! read more

Kristen has been dying my hair fun colors for years, so when my wife and I got married, hiring her to do our hair and makeup was a no-brainer. My wife and I wanted very different looks. Also, my wife has curly hair and wanted an updo without straightening her hair. We were delighted (but not surprised) that Kristen made us each look exactly like we wanted--my wife looked like an ethereal princess, and I looked like the most precisely put-together version of myself. It takes a ton of skill to deliver such different looks, and Kristen knew how to draw out what we each wanted and make it happen. Plus she made the day so easy! Whether you're looking for a regular cut and color or wedding hair and makeup, we highly recommend Kristen. read more

We had a tall order for Kristen this week - to cut some very long hair off of the boyfriend to donate to Wigs for Kids AND create a good looking cut/style for him! We knew we loved her style from Instagram (and a mutual pal) and that she's good with guy cuts/styles, too, so we booked her. She was lovely, fun, and taught us a LOT about hair, products and how to style on our own. You know how you get your hair done and you leave not too thrilled about it all - welp, we were so happy and on cloud 9 over it we went to dinner immediately to celebrate! Her station/salon that she runs is immaculate and she takes sanitizing and Covid regulations very seriously, which we appreciate. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone needing a beautiful cut, style and ego boost! She's amazing. read more

Kristen is amazing! I've been coming here for a little over a year and all I have to say is good things. She takes time to really find out what you are looking for with your new hair (that's why she requires a consultation for any dying). She is patient and her place always has great vibes! If your not happy with your hair she will go above and beyond to make it look the way you want it to look. She will be honest as to how you should take care of your hair and what steps you need to take to achieve the look you want. She does a great job with makeup and hair styles as well she has done gun costume make up for me and also has done very professional wedding makeup for me as well. 5 stars all around!!!! read more

Kristen AKA "Pink" has been doing my hair for around 12 years now. Even when I moved away... I would wait to cut / color my hair until I was in town so she could do it. She offers more than just AMAZING hair, she's a genuine person who lets you open up to her while you're getting pampered. I'm always 100% satisfied but she makes sure to let you know, if you're unhappy in any way, she will accommodate to you. I'v never had to do that, but it's awesome to know she's willing! I'm so excited she is opening her own salon downtown Redwood City! I finally get the spread the word about my magical hair fairy! Parking is conveniently downstairs under the movie theatre, so you can validate near by, or it's free the first hour and a half. She is super versatile and LOVES to have fun with hair. Here are some things she's done to mine: - A whole head of longgggg fire engine red hair - Gorgeous ombre and balayage. She has done both for me when I had really long hair, and with a short bob! - she cut my asymmetrical look when I was too afraid to go fully short. It was SO funky and fun - she used to do natural highlights in my hair - she used to darken my hair - she gave me bangs a few times - electric coral color - rose gold (and I'm asian with naturally dark hair... so shes good) **Currently: she cut my hair which is a blunt bob and I'm SO OBSESSED. I feel so chic. and it's a gorgeous dark ashy brown color, which is EXACTLY what I wanted. She nailed my pinterest board for sure. Another thing I really appreciate is that she educates me on how to care for my hair at home, and recommends the best products. She was nice enough to teach me how she curls my hair so I can do the same at home! I LOVE KRISTEN! Highly recommended! Photos posted. read more

Kristen was on my wedding photographer's preferred vendor list and hiring her for my wedding was a terrific decision! She is very reasonably priced, fun to be around, and she doesn't make you look like a clown with tons of makeup. I made an appointment for trial hair and makeup on the day of my engagement photo shoot and my makeup looked fabulous in the photos. Kristen did an amazing job at my wedding so much so that my future sister-in-law hired her for her upcoming wedding as well. I've also gone to Kristen for haircuts and can recommend her for that as well. read more

I went to see Kristen after several stylists had dyed my hair strange, unnatural colors and I was hesitant to color it yet again. Kristen knew exactly what to do to keep my overprocessed hair from completely disintegrating from yet another treatment. She colored my hair with very gentle chemicals and it came out looking like my original color. She also gave me a great haircut. I've gone back 3 times and each time Kristen has done a simply beautiful, healthy job of touching up my gray and adding luster to the rest of my hair. I can't say enough about Kristen's skill other than it's helped many, many others and, as a result, she books out about a month.

Kristen is truly a magician--on top of her being an amazing stylist she is one of the coolest people you will ever meet. She helped me transform my dull drugstore ombre to a vibrant ombre with highlights, it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. She also did my hair and make up (and my bridesmaids) for my wedding day and I loved it all. Being one of the most important days in my life, I wanted to ensure I looked my best. I can say without a doubt it was the best I have EVER looked & felt. She is exceptionally talented and has an eye for bringing out the glamour and beauty in each individual.   Kristen is a true gem, so glad I found her! I'm excited for my next appointment and am already brainstorming ideas of what to do next with my hair! In addition to her talent, super sweet and funny. I always look forward to chatting with her :) You won't regret choosing her as your hair stylist/makeup artist, she will carry out all your needs! read more

I've been going to Kristen for over ten years and even though I currently live in a different state I'm still hopelessly devoted to her. I'm typically indecisive about my hair yet Kristen always ends up making it look amazing even when I cannot articulate what I actually want. I always get compliments on my hair after going to see her. She's given me bangs and chopped my hair to the shortest it's ever been (shoulder length but still that was a huuuge decision) as well as dyed it blonde, turquoise, purple and pink over the years. Not only is Kristen unbelievably talented with hair styling and color but she's a great listener and therapist which is something I truly value. Many of my friends now see her regularly and she has even done their make-up for events. Kristen always takes the time to make sure I am happy with my hair and goes above and beyond so I can get in to see her when I visit California. If you are in the bay area and looking for a stylist, contemplate no further- go see her, she'll make you look like a brilliant unicorn (or whatever else your style needs are). read more

Kristen Marie - Love my new look! - Makeup Artists Near Me

Kristen is excellent! I get so many compliments on my hair color(s). One person specifically said, "The person who colored your hair did a really great job!" My husband keeps gazing at it and telling me it's awesome. What more could I ask? I was looking for someone who could do non-traditional color (specifically "oil slick" color) and it's not easy to find that specific skill set through Yelp. I actually found another salon, but when I told them what I wanted, they referred me to Kristen. I'm so glad they did! She talked me through the whole process to make sure I understood what she was doing, how to take care of my color, and what I should expect as the color fades. She's super-respectful and careful, too, always asking before she did something (like curl it or take photos). She clearly prides herself on really paying attention to her clients; I can't say it was something I was very aware of before, but now that I know how it *can* be done, I realize what a good job she did. Between that and her artistic eye, I'm pretty thrilled to have found someone I totally trust to make my hair crazy colors! read more

Kristen Marie - Oil Slick Hair! - Makeup Artists Near Me

There are times in our lives when we need a true friend. Someone who will give of their time and talents to help another. Kristen did that for me. While recovering from a brain tumor surgery (all better, thank you!) she came to my house several times to help me wash and dry my hair even though I had staples in my scalp. Gently and kindly she performed her magic and made me feel better and look the best that I could while my hair grew back. Forever grateful for her and her kindness. Ten years later, still going to Kristen! Fabulous styles and color! Thank you Kristen!! read more

Kristen is stellar and wants to give you what you want. With that said, if she thinks you are making a huge mistake, she will voice her concerns, too. I've been going to her for my hair cuts and color for years, so it was a no-brainer when it came to getting married - Kristen was in charge of my hair. She can come to you, or you can go to her, but all in all she makes the process painless. She added flowers to my sister's hair, too, just to make it extra special. :) Also, if you have to do any crafting and it's not your thing - Kristen can get it done for you! read more

I found Kristen when my girls wanted fun colors. She is amazing with them and I couldn't be happier with my hair when we leave. From cuts, to color and wild under cuts I trust her 100% with all of our hair. My husband evens says his cut from her was the best he ever had. read more

I had so much fun getting my hair cut and colored by Kristen a few weeks ago. We first had a color consultation, and I really felt like she did a great job of asking me about myself and what I like to come up with the perfect color combo. I also love that she has her own studio within 2115 Broadway - it's kind of nice to have a little private spot when you're having your hair done! When I came back to get my balayage and cut, I basically felt like I'd just hung out with my friend for a couple of hours, and bonus - left with amazing hair. It came out exactly the way I was picturing it. I've been looking for a great hair stylist in my area, and I've found her! read more

Kristen Marie - My hair is so pretty, thanks Kristen... - Makeup Artists Near Me

I love what Kristen does with my hair....no one has ever been able to make it look as good ...she's the best!

Kristen is like a fairy godmother who magically turns my fine-haired mop into a voluminous, Pantene Pro V commercial level masterpiece. I feel renewed and relaxed every time I'm in her chair... it's hair therapy! She is honest and pragmatic, but also incredibly creative and not afraid to take and encourage healthy risks! I recently asked for organic/low chemical color and she quickly found a perfect match for me- longlasting and rich color. I always get compliments on my hair after a cut and color! Kristen also did my hair and make up on my wedding day! She kept on schedule, helped me stay calm and relaxed, and created a beautiful and natural look. I have freckles and I hate when make up artists cover them up with heavy foundation. She found make up that allowed natural beauty to shine through while covering up other flaws. I wanted more length for my wedding hair and wasn't too keen on hair extensions, but Kristen encouraged me and gently helped me step out of my comfort zone. She found a perfect match that really blended in and I was so happy with the overall look. Several of my friends hired her for their weddings after seeing the results! Love her as a person.... and as a make up and hair stylist. Thank you!!! read more
